Participant Handbook
Athletic Director: Mr. Orozco
S.J.E.A Participant Handbook
Note:
Before a student is allowed to participate in any athletic program,
this entire booklet must be read by both student/athlete and parents. All
forms must be signed to acknowledge that the information has been read and
understood.
Our Goal:
To provide students with the opportunity to grow, learn,
compete, and have fun while participating in our after school sports
program.
Specific objectives
1. Learn teamwork - develop self-discipline, respect for authority, and the
spirit of hard work; place the team and its objectives higher than personal
desires.
2. Strive for success - learn to accept defeat by striving to win with
earnest dedication; develop a desire to excel to the best of one's ability.
3. Display good sportsmanship - learn to treat others as one would wish to
be treated by developing emotional control, honesty, cooperation, and
dependability.
4. Enjoy athletics – Our main objective is to make sure students at SJEA
enjoy participating in our sports program. We hope that the students who
participate in our sports will carry this positive experience and hopefully
try-out for their favorite sport at the high school level.
Eligibility
All athletes must possess a 1.75 G.P.A. from the last grading period to be
eligible to participate in an after school sport/activity. A Satisfactory
Citizenship grade must also be maintained.
You are not eligible to participate until cleared by school administrators
and athletic director.
Attendance
All students participating in sports must attend school on the day of a
contest to be eligible to participate. No Exceptions. If the child is not in
school he/she can’t play in the game that day.
Language
Anyone associated with our after school programs shall use language that is
socially acceptable. Profanity, vulgar talk, or ethnic slurs will not be
tolerated on or off the field at any time.
Daycare
If your child participates in an after school activity they must be picked
up by the specified time given by the coach. Otherwise, the students will be
sent to daycare and you will be responsible for the daily daycare fee of
$15.00 dollars.
Student Expectations
All students are responsible to complete all class assignments and make up
all class work in all classes. Participation in sports is not an excuse for
not completing class assignments or providing teacher with late work. In
addition, all athletes must make a commitment to attend all practices,
contests, and team meetings.
Medical Insurance
All students participating in our sport programs must provide proof of
medical coverage to be able to participate. NO EXCEPTIONS. Name of your
insurance provider and policy number are required.
Try-Outs
All of the sports offered hold try-outs and make cuts for the teams, this is
a result of limitations placed on roster size. The number of participants
will vary by sport. Qualifications for making a team include: sportsmanship,
ability, attitude, hustle, and experience. The coach has the final say on
the make-up of the team.
